Cardinals
On Thursday, Cardinals RB David Johnson told reporters that he’sย “100 percent”ย healthy and expects to be “full speed” for OTAs and minicamp later this offseason.
“I got cleared so I’m good to go,” Johnson said, via Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.
Johnson added that he’s “very motivated” to get back to playing after missing nearly the entire 2017 season with a wrist injury.
“I’m very motivated,” Johnson said. “Not really just about the people out there but it’s really about myself and coming back for the team, for my teammates, for the coaches with everything being so new.
“It’s really about coming back and bouncing back and being able to play this sport.”
- According to Albert Breer, there’s “a lot of buzz around the league right now Wyomingโs Josh Allen is GM Steve Keimโs kind of guy.”
Rams
Rams HC Sean McVay said during an interview with ESPN Los Angeles there won’t be any limitations in terms of how they use new WR Brandin Cooks.
โReally, just watching from him coming out, [heโs] just a strong, physical โ he might be smaller in stature, but heโs a physical player,โ McVay said, via TheRams.com. โHeโs wired to separate. You see him compete after the catch, you see him compete down the field. And I think being able to play in two systems that I have a lot of respect for with New Orleans and New England, you can really evaluate a variety of routes. And they were moving him around, playing in the slot, playing outside. And thatโs the thing that youโre excited about is this guyโs got the ability to create in a variety of ways. And thereโsย really no limitationsย in how you can utilize him.โ
